Bright Sword Military System

This tacit understanding remained for quite a long time afterwards.

For example, Wang Xuexin hopes that when Mao Xiong puts some pressure on the devils in the Far East, the Supreme Deputy Commander will ask the Far East Army to fire a few shots at the right time, or even organize a drill, or send a few bombers to fly a few times in the air .

This greatly reduced the pressure on the Eighth Route Army to attack Fengtian and made it possible.

When Wang Xuexin successfully pulled Mao Xiong together to deal with the devils, the state of Yingjiang and the devils on the other side had a new change.

The admiral was sitting on the rocking chair at the headquarters, reading the newspaper leisurely, with his favorite cigar in his mouth, and the rocking chair was shaking slightly under his movements, making a regular "creaking" sound.

The admiral liked the sound because it solved his chronic insomnia problem.

However, just as the admiral threw away his cigarette butt and covered his chest with a newspaper to take a nap, Doolittle walked in inappropriately. He hesitated for a while, but still called out cautiously: "General?"

"What happened, Harold?" The admiral's tone was a little unhappy.

Doolittle hesitated for a moment, then replied: "No, General, nothing happened!"

"In this case, why are you still here?" Until now, the admiral's eyes have not been opened.

"General!" Doolittle said, "just because nothing happened...I mean, shouldn't we do something? The devil seems to be gathering strength for another preparation!"

"What do you think it will be?" the admiral asked again. "Tell me about your worries!"

Doolittle replied: "I heard that the devils hope to use the mainland of China to fight our army, not at sea! This is the main reason why the devils have been avoiding fighting our army recently but have stepped up their offensive against China!"

The admiral suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Doolittle, asking, "Who did you hear from? Is the news reliable?"

Doolittle shook his head: "It's just hearsay, General, but... I think it's very believable!"

"What do you mean?" the admiral asked with a serious face.

"First of all, this can explain the transformation of the devils towards our army during this period!" Dolittle said: "Although we recovered the islands occupied by the devils one after another, the devils' navy always avoided fighting, and even if they fought, they were limited to small islands. It is obvious that their navy is preserving their strength!"

The admiral sat up and said: "That's because they know that they are not our army's opponents, and our intimidation tactics have worked!"

What the admiral said was that he deliberately revealed a little information about the proximity fuze, which made the devils realize that they could not compete with the Yingjiang Navy for air supremacy unless the devils also developed the proximity fuze.

However, the Devil's backwardness in radar technology makes it difficult to achieve this.

"Perhaps you are right, General!" Doolittle said, "But it is precisely because the intimidation strategy works that the devils are more likely to change their strategic direction and place their hopes on a decisive battle with our army on land!"

The admiral stood up from the rocking chair, and walked back and forth a few anxious steps.

He knew that what Doolittle said was right, if the devils realized that it was impossible to defeat the Eagle-chan navy at sea, they would of course seek to defeat the Eagle-chan on the ground.

In fact, the only way for the devils to go.

The reason is that Devil is an island country surrounded by sea.

The characteristic of an island country is that if the navy cannot defeat the enemy, it will be surrounded and blocked by the enemy navy at sea. At that time, it will only be beaten, and failure is only a matter of time.

Then, in order to survive, the devils can only seek to use Huaxia's land to fight Yingjiang... Huaxia is a mainland, and no matter how powerful the navy is, it cannot penetrate into its hinterland, so it is equivalent to nothing.

What will happen then?

If Yingjiang wants to defeat the devils, he must send a large number of soldiers to China to fight against the devils on land, and once they penetrate into its hinterland, they will not be able to get the cover of the navy.

This is not what the admiral wants to see, because it will make the eagle sauce soldiers pay heavy casualties.

This can be concluded from the battle to seize the island on the Pacific battlefield... When the Yingjiang army was covered by warships, in fact, this could not be simply called "cover", but it should be the end of the warship battle and the army's landing on the island.

Because the warship turned over and over and bombed the target island several times before going to war.

However, even so, the Eagle Sauce Army still suffered heavy casualties after landing on the island, and sometimes the casualties were several times that of the enemy.

The reason is that the devils learned to build underground fortifications on the island to preserve their strength and fight the war of attrition with Yingjiang.

If Wang Xuexin knew this, he would be surprised to find that the change in tactics of Devil Shoudao had been brought forward.

The devils in history probably changed their island defense tactics during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 45.

Prior to this, most of the devils set up defense lines along the coast of the island hoping to wipe out the enemy on the beach... This is a very tempting idea, and it is also the iron law of anti-landing operations adopted by many countries.

The reason is that the moment when the enemy lands is the most difficult: the beach is a shoal, and the enemy's landing troops are inconvenient to move and have no shelter, which is almost a target.

Therefore, most tacticians will take it for granted that:

Wouldn't the best way to destroy the enemy be to lay defenses along the coast?

If you add hidden piles, reefs, mines, barbed wire, mines, etc., it will be a nightmare for the landing troops, right?

Would anyone be stupid enough not to take advantage of such a great deal?

But the problem is...

Ying Jiang's warship can bombard the island several times!

Therefore, in principle, all the fortifications, obstacles, and troops deployed by the devils along the coast will not be effective in actual combat. They are all targets, the targets of naval guns.

Therefore, when Kuribayashi Tadamichi was guarding Iwo Jima, he thought about another way of abiding by the law: directly abandoning the coastline and allowing Yingchan to land, but after the Yingchan soldiers landed, they found out what was waiting for them... The devils moved the tactics of the Eighth Route Army to the island, They built countless tunnels on the island and used these tunnels to consume Yingjiang's troops.

This tactic was a full year ahead of schedule.

But if you think about it, it makes sense that it's a year earlier:

The Devils in history did not give up the decisive battle with the Eagle Sauce Navy. The Devils Navy fought until the last moment and even had battleships committing suicide attacks.

Since the devil navy at this time has given up the idea of ​​a decisive battle and does not reinforce the island, it means that the devil army on the island can only let it fend for itself.

That being the case, will the devils guarding the island deploy their defenses along the coast as before?

They didn't even have the conditions to deploy defenses along the rock, because they didn't have enough food, let alone enough equipment and ammunition to support such a line of defense.

All they can do is to dig deep into the ground to protect themselves like the Eighth Route Army fought tunnel warfare!
